Here are a few snapshots of what constitutes a simple day at the cottage. Simple things and routines I can count on. • Prepared meals ready in the freezer—no cooking, no cleanup. • Cereal always a viable option. • Hot water in five seconds from the tap. • Wearing the same clothes every day—no wardrobe decision • Same three basic walking routes to choose from • Safe surroundings. • Wash my dishes immediately after using—no dishwasher to empty. • Bed by 9:30, up by 5:30. • Same but different sunrise every morning.
